More than likely it was more fear than reality.  We have to remind
ourselves that this episode takes place with TS under Sodium Amytal. 
As in the opening dream  [snip] The "truth" revealed under
what is presumed (we, of course, know better now) to be a kind of
"truth serum" is truth about the current images rattling 'round the
subjects brain at the time.

TS' fear of interracial rape may be just that or it may be that it was
a real memory about which he is in denial.  We don't know and have no
information other then his revealed relief of his escape into the
sewer.  Now for those who believe in real talking dogs and real
journeys through the sewer, this is proof enough of escape.  However,
even more serious than a white boy's fear is a white boys' shame of not
only being violated but being violated by those from whom he and other
white boys and girls were very much segregated.  His drug induced
nightmare, his miraculous escape and the rescue of his harmonica was
apparently, for him, worth the journey, which is more revelatory than
any knowledge of whether the rape actually occurred or not.

Bravo, BRAVO!

The best part of all this is reading something which "keeps on giving" and
never gives it up.

Y'all gotta admit, though, if there was ever an UN-PC scenario, it'd have
to be the LITERAL version.
